"When Autumn Comes is filled with lessons we all need to learn. Read it and you will find yourself able to listen to others, face your fears and learn about life from the wisdom of others and from the great teacher, death."

Bernie Siegel, M.D.

365 Prescriptions for the Soul and Help Me to Heal

 
Welcome to Hospice Volunteer

As a followup to my new book, When Autumn Comes, I have created this website to help educate and support hospice volunteers and anyone who serves as a companion to the dying.

I welcome your feedback and look forward to hearing from you.
